@dazza120 lol I see.

I wanted to preorder a Flirc Rpi4 metal case, but shipping is costing TWICE the value of the case…

Flirc case is the same it’s too hard to cool once heated no fins no way for it to shift it once upto temp you get the run away temp where it just keeps rising. My solution has no such issues even though it was like out of one of Linus Tech Tips handbooks lol. I would like to see any other heatsink or case do 20min stress test 😂 and my temp in the house is 26.5c so that’s dam good going

@Cr4z33 said in Raspberry Pi 4 Released !:

@dazza120 what heatsink beast is that? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

😂 it’s from a HP comp pro 6300 fits the LGA1155 socket, had to grind a bit by the hdmi port to fit the cable but no issues at the back by the pins I put duct tape so it doesn’t get into any trouble back there. Those cheap ally cast heatsinks would have died long time heat pipes in cooling makes a lot of difference

@lavolp3 said in Raspberry Pi 4 Released !:

@dazza120 I’m afraid a heatsink won’t help much but am curious about your results. I haven’t had good results with heatsinks in the past.

Only because you haven’t seen my thermal solution lol, this is one seriously hot chip, had it upto 82 for one reading on the stress test but still at 1.5Ghz on the CPU after that reading it dropped to 80degress this is with just the heat sink no fan. 82degress was during my second stress test and that was just one reading the gap between tests was about 30seconds during both tests no CPU throttling happened. I have put a cable tie around the board and heatsink to keep the pressure on it so it transfers good heat. Not the prettiest but behind a tv well it’s not out of place at all. PS the stress test is 100% cpu usage and no let up during the test had task manager up and CPU usage never fell below 💯

PS works fine on HDMI cable no issues at all

Can I just upgrade the Pi 3 to the Buster OS so i can just swap the ssd over. Can someone confirm if it’s a plug and play boot from OS on an SSD? Rather than through the bios bit to enable it. Really looking forward to this PI I might get a heat sink but I want a big one not the little ones, need to see if I still have the one from the sky box, got a fan already for it but only activates when the TV is on

No you can’t!
But I guess you know that by now.

Buster on the Pi3B+ and Buster on the Pi 4 need different kernel drivers.
So just switching the card won’t work.
A clean install is the best way at least on the Pi 4.
After all you can try to just move the MM directory to the Pi 4, but honestly I would install the modules and dependencies again as well.

Yeah learnt this the hard way 😂, but right now I can’t even use my pi 4 I need boot from usb as that’s how I’m running my 3B+ Also need my heat sinks to come in so I can see what one to use

Well what a bust upgraded it and it won’t display at all, so clean install 👎🏾 Everything running on the Pi 3B+ at the mo, guess no boot from USB for the pi 4 then 😭

@Cr4z33 crap that’s all I have PS there is a new update of buster out now see if that is any better, I’m just upgrading my pi 3B+ From stretch to buster does any one know if it boots from SSD as standard? Oh well guess I’ll find out soon😬

@SH20192 just out of curiosity were you running MagicMirror?

And if so were you running MMM-Spotify?
I ask because last update of this module is giving me a black screen.

My Rpi 4 arrived a couple of hours ago, but I still have to take it out of the box.

Yes to MagicMirror. Only thing running on it. I was not running Spotify.

is it over heating? ETA prime has his overclocked to 1.7Ghz CPU and 600Mhz on the GPU 😳 it must be on fire 🔥 😂

@SH20192 said in Raspberry Pi 4 Released !:

Unfortunately didn’t make it 24 hours of being up. :(

Nooooooooooo with that spec I wouldn’t have thought there would be any problems 🤦🏾‍♂️😢

@Cr4z33 said in Raspberry Pi 4 Released !:

@SH20192 I see.

I will start with an old Intel heatsink.

I got very good cooling results with a Rock Pi 4 B so I don’t think it will be any worse hehe.

Would that even fit on the Pi?

@lavolp3 said in Raspberry Pi 4 Released !:

@SH20192 MM system works without changes on Raspbian Buster with the new kernel?
I’m positively surprised…
Gotta order a second one. Lol!

Can I just upgrade the Pi 3 to the Buster OS so i can just swap the ssd over. Can someone confirm if it’s a plug and play boot from OS on an SSD? Rather than through the bios bit to enable it.

@SH20192 said in Raspberry Pi 4 Released !:

All my modules work except MMM-SingleStock. So far it loads much faster than the Pi 3. I had to abandon using MM2 because I could not run it for more than 3 hours without crashing. Fingers crossed the 4 is more stable. Will let it run overnight to see.

Yeah my Pi 3 seems to run out of memory, I opted for 4Gb model should have enough grunt to run everything with any issues

@Sean said in Raspberry Pi 4 Released !:

hmmmm. somewhat expensive (only in Germany?)

Recently I’ve purchased several stronger alternatives - Khadas Edge-V around $100, NVIDIA Jetson nano $100 also.
I will buy this one also for test, but could it be better than those?

I was going to buy it from Germany too thinking at the good prices I got for the Pi 3 B, but at this round for some reason it is WAY cheaper (EUR 59 + shipping) to buy it from Italy for me.

However let’s see what comes out with MagicMirror once I get it delivered (they say 24h) especially by using the new Raspbian Buster… :crossed_fingers_medium_skin_tone:

Any news? Just ordered mine as they where out of stock on the first day lol, need to get a micro to usb C adapter and a micro hdmi cable then get this puppy running

@electros yeah I do too but would love it to boot without altering it, to do it

Anyone know if you can just boot off of the usb from an SSD?

@Sandy2503 said in Raspberry Pi 4 Released !:

Raspberry

What about the Ethernet is it shared with the USB? 4GB of Ram that is my dream! That means I can do away with the 12 hour Cron job 😁

@Klinge only to do a Cron Job on the Pi every12hours

I used 3M vinyl wrap for the black of mine, no glue just apply no air gap easy to work with and for giving if you make a mistake, UV treated as well, your going to need three people to lift that beast! I would put the monitor on the back of the frame 🖼 this way it limits the monitor reflecting on its self and dust getting between the monitor and glass, I went for mirror view 50/50 too. I did have plans to recess mine but it would have been in a purpose made area, but settled on the stairs landing and that is all block work but makes the sunlight bounce all the way down the stairs, so it’s doing more than I could have hoped as well as a feature.

I’m done now 🤙🏾 Edited the first post with pics channeled out the wall for the cat6 and the power cable now just to wait for the walls to be skimmed😊

@MadScientist cheers I’m gonna wait for the next Pi hopefully the nic is not limited and the ram is a lot more and fast CPU won’t go a miss🤞🏾

Look in the show your mirror, must say I’ve not had that problem with mine, SamsungTV with a RPI https://forum.magicmirror.builders/category/12/show-your-mirror
